Eli has been quite the helper this week! He loved climbing up the ladder to help Dad with the Christmas lights. // He also loves to help me make bread. 

He is obviously very clean when he helps me! Haha! I love his little foot prints all over the counter! His favorite thing when I make hamburger buns is to put the balls onto the cookie sheet and smash them down. 

He loved helping me paint the closet! I love having the closet painted! It looks so much better! I am loving these changes we are making in our house! 

I found the boys asleep together in Axel's bed. I love it when the sneak into each other's beds for some reason. // My little monkey boy! 

This is about as good as it got when I was trying to get a picture of the kids in front of our Christmas tree! Crazy kids! // We went to the kids' favorite restaurant tonight and were surprised to find that Santa and Mrs. Clause were there! 

Eli refused to get a picture with them, but that's okay! I learned when my girls were little that there is no point in forcing them to take a picture with Santa!

Matthew got his bear skull back this week! It's so big!!

We went to our town light parade with Aunt Patty and Kass and the boys! I usually don't enjoy going to things like this, because...you know...people. But it was so fun! I'm glad we went! 

I promise Eli is in this picutre...he's behind Alya's antlers (which were given out at the parade...how cute is that?!) 

And then after we saw Santa and Mrs. Clause and drank hot cocoa we got to watch the fireworks! There were a ton of people there, but we still had a great time! // At the Sorenson family Christmas party this year we played a game of Kahoot! and if I remember right...Jessica and Miss Lyla were the winners! 

Alya was given this puzzle for Christmas last year, and she finally got around to getting it done! I love that my kids love puzzles, and this was a pretty cute one!

Happy Thanksgiving! The last few years it has become a tradition for us to go bowling the day after Thanksgiving with Matthew's family. 

I love this picture of Lyla and Grandpa! My kids are lucky to have so many people who love them so much! 

I don't think I have ever been this flexible! // I found a few selfies on my phone from Alya! 

Beautiful views up Fairview canyon. // He looks so peaceful! 

I needed a little alone time this week so Matthew kicked me out the door and stayed home with the kids so that I could go on a drive. I drove up Fairview Canyon and was just blown away by the sunset. 

It was absolutely beautiful!
